The wall is load bearing as it used to be the exterior carport wall and is 2 ft concrete and brick.

How wonderful this will be. And I simply ADORE that tall sun room you have on the back - I would be there all the time. But now the rest of your house will have that same airy perfection...<br /><br />I also love that instead of trading houses, you are taking an already lovely house in a beautiful neighborhood and improving its flow. I think it is all about living efficiently and beautiful without needing 5000 ft2 to do it!<br /><br />Good luck with it. xo TerriWindlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014227226507484798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13924653723155000.post-81084446197905159382011-07-25T20:58:53.210-04:002011-07-25T20:58:53.210-04:00Assuming you've been at this over the last sev...Assuming you've been at this over the last several weeks, bless you all for keeping it together for a reno + crazy heat here in the DC area.Kerry Steele- Design du Mondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13066816712379181399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13924653723155000.post-71042556309019947992011-07-25T20:08:48.729-04:002011-07-25T20:08:48.729-04:00I am so excited to see this transformation.
